It is estimated that 200,000 tons of synthetic pigments are lost in the effluents of the textile industry each year. Most of these dyes escape conventional wastewater treatments, resulting in adverse effects on the environment, such as ecotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and water turbidity. Pigments of microbial origin have often been proposed as a safer alternative to synthetic pigments and the bio discovery of new pigment-producing microbial strains has become strategic for a more sustainable textile supply chain.

Abstract
It is estimated that 200,000 tons of synthetic pigments are lost in the effluents of the textile industry each year. Most of these dyes escape conventional wastewater treatments, resulting in adverse effects on the environment, such as ecotoxicity, carcinogenicity, and water turbidity. Pigments of microbial origin have often been proposed as a safer alternative to synthetic pigments and the bio discovery of new pigment-producing microbial strains has become strategic for a more sustainable textile supply chain.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
